Fiery Inferno Aboard the Titanic
Beneath the Titanic’s decks, a catastrophic fire raged in the engine room at temperatures between 1,000 and 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This blaze consumed a crucial metal bulkhead, threatening the ship’s integrity with watertight compartment breaches.

The inferno, mirroring Dante’s depiction of hell, weakened the steel bulkheads, making them brittle. When compromised, the critical last barrier before the boiler room exposed the Titanic’s vulnerable heart. This damage sealed the ship’s grim fate, showcasing the devastating impact of the fire.
